Jan. 3, 2020 – Barrett-Jackson, The World's Greatest Collector Car Auctions, will roll out the red-carpet when celebrity-owned collector vehicles cross the block during the 49th Annual Scottsdale Auction, January 11-19, 2020.

'Barrett-Jackson is proud to offer one of our most diverse dockets of celebrity-owned vehicles during our 2020 Scottsdale Auction,' said Craig Jackson chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. 'Vehicles that have been owned by renowned actors, musicians and authors, as well as some of the most talented professional athletes, are destined to bring some real star power to our auction block.
